Rosters - Position eligibility requests 2025-26

Position eligibility requests for the 2025-26 season.

We will continue evaluating players for new positions going forward and make updates where appropriate.

Full list of updated players for the 25/26 season: https://hockey.fantasysports.yahoo.com/hockey/playerchanges?type=pos

As of 10/4/23, we added the option for Commissioners to award position eligibility to players who haven't earned it by Yahoo Fantasy's standards yet. Keep in mind, this tool will only allow commissioners to add positions, not edit or remove them, and you won't be able to assign Forwards or Defensemen with Goalie eligibility and vice versa. Commissioners can add new positions using the steps here: https://help.yahoo.com/kb/position-eligibility-fantasy-hockey-sln7057.html

    Pavel Buchnevich has been playing LW for a while now, Please make him RW/LW eligible !

  • Mohamed Hameer commented  ·   ·  Report

    Mark Scheifele has been playing RW in WPG with Copp at C for a few games now. Please look into it.

  • Matthew Hunt commented  ·   ·  Report

    Adam Lowry WPG has been at LW for the past 5 games. I hope he gets LW eligibility at some point...

  • Tyler Pennington commented  ·   ·  Report

    Elias Pettersson has been lining up as a left winger with J.T. Miller as the C and Brock Boeser on RW going back to last year, but he doesn't have any winger eligibility. There are nights where Pettersson doesn't take any faceoffs, yet he's locked as a C while Miller has eligibility at all three forward positions. This needs to be addressed.

  • Daniel Mazzuca commented  ·   ·  Report

    Leon Draisaitl should only be C. The guy is putting up over 10+ Draws a game. Makes 0 Sense. Might as well make Mcdavid C,W then.

  • Jesse commented  ·   ·  Report

    Pettersson doesn't take half the faceoffs and therefor spends time playing the wing. He also plays center in the defensive zone whenever he's not with someone like Brandon Sutter. Why is he not W eligible?

  • Shade Fox commented  ·   ·  Report

    Copp plays center on the Jets’s second line. 21 minutes a game. He needs Center eligibility.

  • jefecito commented  ·   ·  Report

    Chris Kreider played all four games on the right wing. This should be added. Thanks!

  • amnesiac commented  ·   ·  Report

    Way too many posts about this dating back to last season. Takes up about 80% of the topics..... Needs to be cleaned up.

  • Pieter Kuschke commented  ·   ·  Report

    Once again Oshie is playing C on the 3rd line and has done so multiple times in the past this year. He still needs C eligibilty

  • Rado commented  ·   ·  Report

    Almost all wings change position on the PP in order to have better angles for shots. There is absolutely no reason to give him RW as he never plays it at even strength.

  • Alex McKenzie commented  ·   ·  Report

    Bran Marchand has been playing RW intermittently on the powerplay, with Nick Ritchie taking the LW. He should be LW/RW

  • Dan McGuinness commented  ·   ·  Report

    Will yahoo ever do anything about this lol... EP doesnt take FO. Hes horrible in FO leagues but you have to deal with it cuz Yahoo only looks at depth charts. Silly

  • RD commented  ·   ·  Report

    .... so many other players have dual... yahoo?

  • RD commented  ·   ·  Report

    one face-off in the last SEVEN games... come on yahoo, all we ask for is consistency

  • Ryan Maiden commented  ·   ·  Report

    Just a look at the game log and you can see the need for a RW designation. Takes no faceoffs. Most likely only when Miller is waved out.

  • wade taylor commented  ·   ·  Report

    Can someone explain too me how Blake Wheeler gets a C designation after a few week of taking face offs, yet Elias Pettersson is C, but plays the wing. What criteria is being used to determine this. Pettersson should have a W designation..
